Which sleeping bag to choose for a newborn?
Sleeping bag – which one to choose?
If your child falls asleep covered with a duvet, but after a while, he gets rid of it, and you are afraid that he will get cold, decide to buy a soft sleeping bag. Thanks to it, you will be sure that your baby will be warm and comfortable. But how to choose the best model available on the market? Much depends on the age and needs of your child.
Sleeping bag – which one to choose?
It is worth replacing a children’s quilt with a sleeping bag when dealing with a toddler who sleeps actively, often changing his position during sleep. Exploring himself, the child may not only get cold but also cover his mouth with a duvet, making it difficult for him to breathe. The sleeping bag makes the child’s rest safer and more comfortable.
Which sleeping bag to buy? One that will not restrict your child’s movements. Choose a comfortable model that allows you to change your body position freely. This allows the baby to sleep the way he likes the most. To ensure that the child’s freedom of movement is not limited, pay attention to the material from which the sleeping bag is made and cut.
Which sleeping bag for winter?
The thickness of the sleeping bag is also essential. To get to know it, pay attention to the TOG index, i.e. the degree of thermal protection of a given model. In winter, when the nights are excellent, and the temperature in the children’s room is slightly lower than usual, it is worth choosing a model with a high TOG index, e.g. 3.5 or 2.5. While the former will be ideal for cool interiors, where the temperature is about 16 degrees, the latter is more universal. Sleeping bags with a thickness of 2.5 TOG can be found in the Bajum offer.
Remember, however, that a thicker model will not always be a better choice for winter. If you put a sleeping bag on your baby that is too warm, you can overheat it, negatively affecting the comfort of your little one’s rest. Consider the ambient temperature and your baby’s preferences. It is also worth choosing a sleeping bag made of a material with thermoregulatory properties, e.g. breathable cotton, which will provide air access to the skin and perfectly drain moisture.
Which sleeping bag for the summer?
When the nights get warm and the temperature inside exceeds 21 degrees, opt for a light sleeping bag with the TOG 1 index. It will effectively protect the child from freezing and, at the same time, will not lead to overheating. Give up models that have been sewn from artificial materials. Choose a sleeping bag made of natural, high-quality fabric to ensure proper air circulation.
In stores, you can find models with or without sleeves. What summer sleeping bag to buy? Choose one that does not have sleeves, and the size of the armholes can be adjusted thanks to unique press studs. Thanks to this, the child will not be too warm in it. Resign from putting too-tight sleeping bags on your baby. Bet on a loose model with a light filling not to limit your child’s comfort. If you’re looking for an all-season sleeping bag that works well in both summer and winter, choose a model with a 2.5 TOG rating.
Which sleeping bag for a newborn?
If you are completing a layette for a newborn and your list also includes a sleeping bag, choose a model made of certified material, safe for children from the first days of their lives. The products available in our assortment are Oeko Tex Standard 100 certified, which gives parents confidence that they do not threaten their children’s health.
Softness also matters. Buy a pleasant-to-the-touch and delicate sleeping bag that will not irritate your baby’s sensitive skin. Avoid exaggerated buying. Too large a model can not only reduce the child’s comfort, but there is also a risk that the baby will fall inside during intensive movements of the legs. Also, check if the sleeping bag has complex elements that could harm the baby. Zippers should be secured with an overlap to avoid harming the child. Bajum’s offer includes, among others: models dedicated to babies aged 0-6 months.

When choosing a sleeping bag for babies, consider the ease of access to their diapers. To change it at night without having to wake up the child, choosing a model with easy and convenient unfastening is worth choosing. For older children, a good solution may be the models with legs available in the Bajum offer, which will provide children with exceptional comfort at night.
The design is also essential. Choose a model your child will like, e.g. with an animal print or colourful plants. This way, you will make the baby put on the sleeping bag with absolute pleasure. A proposal for children who get bored quickly is double-sided models, the appearance of which can be changed depending on the child’s mood and preferences. You can find them in the offer of our online store.
